Infinity’s Bruno Coelho has retained his Asia Touring Car Championship title with a dominant display in the finals in Foshan, China. With this year’s FEMCA organised race attracting a stacked field due to the Hongyu GDC track hosting the World Championships next April, while qualifying produced TQ runs from three different drivers, in the finals the reigning World Champion was untouchable.

…his team-mate, the World Champion would end up P9 at the conclusion of the round. With Matsukura taking the TQ by 1.2-seconds from Sobue, only Jin Sawada managed a faster lap time but pushing the limits of his electrics the Japanese Xray driver would run out of battery with a lap to go costing him a certain Top 2 run as he got a DNF.
